Would you like to do the > FSF paperwork in order to be able to contribute non trivial patches to > Emacs? I have applied for an assignment a bit over two years ago now. Unfortunately, the problem which stopped it from going through still persists to date, namely that the university in which I am a student (which is based in EU if that helps) refuses to sign the copyright disclaimer - or more specifically that I cannot get a response from the legal department to begin with. Craig has previously reached out on my behalf as well, but as far as I am aware they have similarly not had much success. The only way forward that I can see is a. do not consider them a possibly claimant to my work an forgo the copyright disclaimer or b. wait a year after which I will (hopefully) graduate and hope that the university I go to for my post-grad is more open to communication. I do not believe that b. is bound to see much success, but I do also do not know if a. is a viable option for the FSF.
